Hello,
I am trying out the code in the book http://nlpwp.org/. When testing the code in chapter 7 (POS tagger), the interactive session consumes much memory and the whole system becomes unresponsive (Ubuntu 10.04, Dual Core, 2 Gig memory). I even find it difficult to kill the process.
If I execute a ghci session I see very large memory (1.6Gig) use and relative slow execution. However the system does not become as unresponsive. If I run the executable directly the execution goes from minutes to seconds.
Does ghci load compiled or interpreted code? In the latter case, compiling it before loading (or even invoking ghci with the -fobject-code flag) might help.
Anyone know if I can tweak GHCi and/or leksah to avoid or simple reduce this problem?
TIA, Hugo F.
